Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
China seizes
30,000 tons of chicken feet tainted by hydrogen peroxide
Another chicken
scandal in China. This time not meat but feet, a widely consumed snack throughout
the country. What’s the problem this time, expiration date, misleading label, mixed
with something else or worse? Unfortunately, the worst. Contaminated.
As much as 30,000
tons of chicken feet contaminated with hydrogen peroxide, chemical compound
often used for hair dying or bleaching, was seized by the authorities in
several locations. The producers used the chemical to make their product look
cleaner and whiter.
The good news is
that chicken feet isn’t so popular in other countries or on the menu of food
restaurant chains like McDonald’s. The bad news is there are many in China who
ate or are still eating the contaminated product. Some angry Chinese says, “Tell
us what not to eat but what we can eat.”
Enjoy reading and
learning about this latest food scandal in China.
